Creatures Nominated For SIMA Award

Creatures of Leisure are pleased to announce it’s nomination of the revolutionary DNA Flex Mould Leash at the upcoming SIMA image awards in the Hardgoods Accessory Product of the Year category.

The DNA Flex Mould leash is the world’s first cord/mould connection designed to absorb wave impact. The innovative design greatly increases flexibility and strength, with the design of the DNA mould allowing the mould and cord to stretch together, vastly reducing potential breakage. The success of the leash is backed by a near zero return rate of 0.0002% and has lead to Creatures now offering an industry first 2 year warranty on all leashes.

All Creatures leashes include additional market leading features such as the Brewing Swivel and Surefire Leash Release. The Bearing Swivel was the world’s first stainless steel, self lubricating swivel: the swivel never gets stuck, eliminating leash tangles, it’s also virtually unbreakable. Surefire Leash Release is the world’s first urethane coated, permanently upright release tag- an easy release every time and very handy in an emergency.

Creatures of Leisure are the market leaders in the design and innovation of the world’s best surfing accessories. Our core mission is to further enhance the surfing experience through products of integrity and genuine innovation.
